Famous Instagrammers we talked to all swear by this one photo editing app

When Tech Insider asked famous Instagram users which apps they
use to edit their photos, there was one app almost everyone
swore by.

It's called VSCO, and it's free to download
in the App Store and
on Google Play. While the app can be used to take photos on
an iPhone or Android phone, Instagrammers love it for its retro,
film camera-inspired filters.

VSCO has a lot of editing tools not found in Apple's stock Photos
app, like the ability to adjust the color of someone's face. But
its dozens and dozens of filters — which all draw aesthetic
inspiration from classic film camera looks — are its real
appeal.

"For mobile editing, all I really use is VSCOcam to be honest,"
said Benj Haisch, a photographer with186,000 followers on
Instagram.
"[It's] the best mobile editing platform in terms of toning
photographs on the market."

VSCO has been around for years (the company began by selling
similar presets for Adobe's Lightroom software on the desktop),
and Chris Ozer said that it's remained "popular for a
reason." Ozer, whohas 666,000 followers on
Instagram,
likes the app's filters "when used very lightly."

Ozer has a great trick for achieving a clean, timeless
aesthetic with his photos: "I start at the bottom of the dial and
slowly make my way up, calculating the changes the preset is
making to the photo as I go, usually never going higher than
5."
